OSMC Test Builds for Kodi (Matrix) 19 for Vero2 and 4k(+)
Warning
Kodi 19 is currently in Alpha and there is likely to be a lot of activity in the coming months. As these are alpha builds expect some issues.
Kodi has now merged the changes for Python3. If addon devās have not updated their builds for Python 3 then expect breakages.
If you are looking for a stable system then these builds are not for you!
Before proceeding make sure you have a backup of your Vero As these are test builds there could well be some unexpected problems.
Database upgrades could also be an issue. Please make a backup of the Kodi database before installing, especially if you are running a remote MySQL database. Going back from v18 to stable might be difficult especially if there have been upgrades to the Kodi databases.
Installing
You need a working system in order to install these test builds. If you do not have OSMC already installed then go to https://osmc.tv/download/ to install the latest stable version.
Update apt source list to get the latest nightly:
Edit
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://download.osmc.tv/dev/gmc-19/public gmc-19 main
Save and exit file.
Import gpg certificate:
wget -qO - http://download.osmc.tv/dev/gmc-19/public/pubkey-2020.asc | sudo apt-key add -**
Finally run update and dist-upgrade to install latest nightly.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Going back to Stable branch (No guarantees that it will work)
Edit sources.list file and change line to:
#deb http://download.osmc.tv/dev/gmc-19/public gmc-19 main
Updating
When new updates are released you can either update using MyOSMC or manually with the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
To confirm which version you are running:
dpkg -l | grep mediacenter-osmc | awk '{ print $3 }'
Check which versions are available should you wish to install a previous version:
apt-cache madison rbp2-mediacenter-osmc
Install previous versions:
sudo apt-get install vero3-mediacenter-osmc=version
sudo apt-get install vero2-mediacenter-osmc=version
Where version=version number (eg 18.8-34)
Support
Since we are in alpha there could be a lot of incompatibilities with skins and addons. To resolve these its best taking the issue up with the addon developer.
If you have any issues with OSMC please provide debug logs. Most problems are almost impossible to fix if we donāt have the debug logs.
